Ted, 
thanks for the pointer.  I'd be interested in how people feel
about this.  But, on a brighter note, I think I've got the 
fixes required for using Swarm with Tcl 7.5 and Tk 4.1  (and
maybe 7.6 4.2, also).  But, I'm not sure just yet.  And I 
haven't put hooks in for using either, yet, which I'd like to 
do so that we don't *force* anyone to upgrade after *forcing*
everyone to maintain the older versions.
